US actor Chadwick Boseman, best known for playing Black Panther in the hit Marvel superhero franchise, has died of cancer aged 43.
He died at home in Los Angeles with his wife and family by his side, a statement posted on social media said.
Boseman was diagnosed with colon cancer four years ago but had not made the information public.
The news has left fans and the film world stunned. Get Out director Jordan Peele, said it was "a crushing blow".
"A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much," his family said in the statement.
"From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and several more - all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T'Challa to life in Black Panther."

Anyone else here who hadn't heard of this actor or his films? Have to admit that I haven't been keeping up with recent films and the last superhero film I saw must have been Superman with Christopher Reeve!
I fell fast asleep watching superman.
I like the original Batman series though, and he is my favourite superhero because he is the only one without a superpower and has to make do.
